United States - Roof replacement

Description

The Northern Facilities Construction CMT of the United States Postal Service is soliciting proposals for a Railing and Safety Upgrade project, at the United States Postal Service owned Northern VA P&DC 8409 Lee Hwy., Merrifield, VA 22031, Fairfax County. 

The estimated cost of the work is between $950,000 to $1,200,000; with construction completion no later than two hundred thirty (230) calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed.

The solicitation will open 4-25-2019 on USPS eSourcing Emptoris (see How to Participate below) and close on 5-24-2019.  A pre-proposal meeting for this project will be held on 5 July 2019 at 10 am (local time) on site.  Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.  Technical inquiries are to be addressed to David Fox, Architect/Engineer, WBCM, at 410-512-4522, or the USPS Project Manager, David Pilarczyk at 630-295-6236.

The Postal Service bases contract award decisions on best value.  The Postal Service is more concerned with making an award at the lowest overall price than with obtaining superior technical or management features. However, the Postal Service may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical or management features.  The benefits of a higher priced proposal may merit a higher price.
